| What Happened to Neil Young's New Release ??? Classic Records (Reprise)Format: 200 Gram Vinyl Coming May 30, 2006 To a store near you. I don't think anyone will have to stay up late at night worrying about Ol' Neil Young selling out and if it takes a Canadian (born) American resident to have ... | |
| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? Rosstaman... so what happened?! What did you do? Are ya happy?Just a late couple of comments, Sdatch makes a good recommend with Coincident. I have the Total Eclipse paired with Ralph's Silver Edition OTLs and I'm a very happy camper.Heard the Zu ... | |
| New Beatles Box Sets Did anyone read in the current Rolling Stone, Neil Aspinall and Apple have announced that the complete Beatles catalog will be remastered? Maybe we will soon have yet another version to choose from. They made no mention of timing or what formats w... | |
| Reliable valve suppliers on web Rcprince is spot on about Andy At Vintage. For NOS Andy is the Guru that most wish they were and I'm not talking out of my ass. He has, more than once, hooked up a number of my friends and I with killer NOS bottles. There are a lot of folks that d... | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music Beauty is truly in the eye (or ear) of the beholder. What moves your heart? I enjoy everything from Miles to The Pixies from Delibes to The Beastie Boys. It runs the gamut at our house. Enjoy! | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? Good point Opalchip, I believe your spot on. Just one point of contention, Bonham's drums are so compressed on every recording I have ever heard or owned and that is a real shame. Rock recordings in general at the pinnacle of the genre are plague... | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? Its a craps shoot. Caution might be in order considering the expense and Classics somewhat inconsistent reputation. The 45's of Crosby, Stills, Nash S/T Lp truly suck for one example. Yet, the Mingus -Ah Um and the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessi... | |
| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. Venus Audio had a Yamamoto paired with a Blue Circle preamp and Zu Druids at my local A. K. Fest in Detroit this last weekend and it was sweet sounding, "beautiful" in a word. What amazed me was the amount of emotion that this little two watter pr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Delibes: Lakmé on Seraphim/EMIWhat a very nice find, this is a beautiful recording and pressing. Happy Listening! | |
| I hope break in is true Flyski, By what you say, do you honestly beleive that a designer/manufacturer doesn't design a product to sound a particular way once it's burned-in? All my Hifi was designed to perform to the end result, not like it sounds fresh out of the box. I... | |
| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. Borg7x9, Congrat's on your new acquisition! The Yamamoto A-08s is a beautiful piece of hand crafted gear. Everyone who has heard it echoes your comments. I have yet to enjoy a listen. In time. Happy Listening! | |
| I hope break in is true Bartokfan... maybe a better tweet(er) would help you hear the reality of "break-in", just kidding! Evidently, medieval hocus-pocus is alive and well. It leaves me curious to no end how so many have the true reference Hifi and yet the obvious trans... | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas Velo62, I can't compare the two for you but can speak on the 1" Scan-Speak Revelator silk-dome tweeter used in a dAppolito configuration on my Coincident Total Eclipse speakers. I find them very transparent and revealing. Certainly one of the fin... | |
| I hope break in is true Scottht, Break-in is just like the tooth fairy or the easter bunny... if you don't believe you will never see it. You will make up some excuse like I just got used to it the way it was and know I'm just not sure anymore. I'm just kidding, Serious... | |
| Cleaning old record collection.. advise please If you could use a vacuum record cleaning machine and one or more of the better liquid record cleaners such as The Disc Doctor's Miracle record cleaner (my personal favorite). If you don't have access to a machine, manual cleaning would be next be... |
